About Ellie
Ellie Byrne offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by big changes, stress or problems with substance use. She meets each person where they are and focuses on practical ways to make life easier. Ellie keeps sessions personal and responsive so people can set the pace and priorities they need.
Ellie uses a person-centred style that puts the client in control of the work. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and motivational methods are used to build focus and strengthen motivation to change. With five years of clinical experience, Ellie has supported people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. She also has experience with relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, and career-related stress.
Additional areas of focus include ADHD, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue and addictions. Sessions are practical and talk-based. Ellie helps people identify small, manageable steps and practises new ways of coping between meetings.
She pays attention to patterns that make problems worse and works with the person to try alternatives. People who value a non-judgemental, steady counsellor often find this way of working helpful. Ellie aims to create a calm environment where someone can sort out priorities and move forward at a pace that feels right.

Online support
She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and then try practical alternatives. CBT techniques are commonly used for anxiety, low mood, sleeping problems and many stress-related issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Ellie will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with Ellie can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face discussion and shared exercises. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing reflections between sessions or when written communication feels easier. These options support flexible scheduling and help fit therapy into busy lives.
